 In the study I was part of conducting, we explored whether AU employees have any kind of sexist attitudes and whether this causes a problem for gender initiatives in the organisation. We explored this through the standardized questionnaire, the modern sexism scale and that's basically 8 items posing sexist claims and then the employees had to state whether they were in agreement or disagreement with these statements. And 1500 employees answered the full questionnaire and the questionnaire is assessed on a 7-point licket scale so if you score below 3.5 you are non-sexist but if you score above you are sexist and you will express resistance to any kind of gender initiatives in the organisation. Unfortunately the mean for the AU employee was 4.18 indicating that the average AU employee has sexist attitudes and would be resistant to gender equity initiatives of any form. We also found that there was a significant gender difference so that the modern sexism score for male employees was almost 4.6 indicating a high degree of agreement and resistance to gender equity measurements and women scored close to the average AU employee, namely 3.8.
